edited September 2024 in Success Stories
Hello, hello! I am still only 66lbs down so the scale has not moved much since my last progress picture. I have gone done one/two sizes though. I fractured my ankle about a month ago so I've had to lay off cardio for awhile. I am slowly working it back into my routine. I am excited to get back into the swing of things and really push myself for these last 30lbs. I can't wait to accomplish this huge goal! :)

FYI---- I HAVE NOT WORN SHORTS IN 3 YEARS SO THAT'S WHY I LOOK SO CHEESY IN THAT LAST PICTURE! MY LEGS ARE AS VERY WHITE AND GHOSTLY! PLEASE EXCUSE THEM...THE SUN IS SOMETHING THEY HAVE NOT SEEN IN AWHILE! :) Ha!

THEN: 242lbs

    Awesome progress!

    It's funny. Years ago when I was trying to loose weight and had been walking every day and then sprained my ankle very badly, I was afraid I was going to end up gaining weight or not be able to loose more. LOL. It turns out using crutches and hopping up stairs is more cardio than I was probably doing before. I don't know if you found that to be true.

    WOW! THANK YOU GUYS! :) I feel great, even with white legs! I should take a back side picture to compare. My back side was quite scary before. :)

    I actually didn't use crutches. I teach first grade and thought it'd be impossible to hobble around and teach. I used an air cast and it worked just fine. :)
